Re: I have a question about county owned buildings!

Maybe other stuff that I'm unaware of, but no court hearing or anything of that nature that I know of. I asked a county sheriff officer in the building if I was legal 2 carry (just 2 be nice) & she asked if I was carrying & said if I were carrying I would b arrested 4 unlawful carrying.
Did you ask why? There may be something that you don't know.

Whenever I encounter this situation - where I know (or think I know) that I can carry and it's being challenged, I simply ask the officer to politely settle to correct my awful CHL instructor who taught me otherwise. Doing so doesn't "challenge" the officer and it lets you know what he's thinking. Correct from that via a call to a supervisor from a safer location.


You will see government owned buildings posted 30.06 - at least I have - it has nothing to do with courts. Law enforcement may or may not choose to enforce those signs depending on a number of factors, but if not off limits as mentioned above, and posted 30.06 the signs are a defense to prosecution, but not to arrest.
